Faithfull Diamond Whetstone Sharpening Kit. 3 Stones: 400G Coarse, 600G Medium And 1000G Fine Includes Non Slip Base Unit

Amazing product , easy to use if you know how or use a honing guide with it , worth every penny

im happy so far with these diamond stones, as long as they are looked after there is minimal difference in quality between these and some more expensive brands. the slip resistant rubber on the bottom does fall off but easily fixed with either glue or a slip proof mat. overall they are easy to use and give a good sharp finish.

Sharpened a plane iron and a couple of chisels. Good product.

I have been using these for sometime now and I can say they are a great asset. Good quality build and value for money. Worth the investment.

Good set of whetstones indeed. If you have a seriously blunt knife or want to maintain an already sharp knife and you know how to use these diamond sharpening stones you will finish up with an extremely sharp knife. They are well made and I am certain, given average use, they will last a very long time. The stones are easy to clean (soapy water) and they don't beak in half if you drop one. They come presented in a very substantial lidded case which will keep them clean in a dusty environment. Excellent value for money.

Bought two years ago lasted well (never used ) They are flattish and the 600 & 400 seem mixed up. Saying that they do a good job of flattening the backs of plane irons and chisels and hand sharpeningNot to confident about using a honing guide on them two much flex and movement .Its best do the hard work with sand paper or grinder and just finish off the job with them.

I use this kit for sharpening the blades in vintage wooden block planes and coffin planes. Sharpening is an art form. Watch some videos on YouTube to see how the experts do it. There is a knack to getting the bevels and tappers just right. If you are working with Sheffield or Ohio quality steel blades, then this sharpening kit will get them beyond razor sharpness. On cheap steel blades, you will struggle to get the same level of sharpness or an edge that lasts for more than a few strokes before its dull again.

It was a very cheap way to try some diamond honing plates, but the plates are very thin, with plastic blocks that can flex a bit, and after honing a few chisels, and commissioning a couple of plane irons they’re worn out and don’t do much.I replaced these with a branded metal slab, 2-sided (400 & 1000) diamond honing plate, that only cost 1.5x as much and it’s loads better. Munch better bite, and doesn’t flex. That might wear out as quickly though, hard to know.I didn’t find I used the middle grit for sharpening woodworking tools, but it may be useful for other things.
